There is nothing difficult about making mung bean kelp. There are two kinds of "kelp" here. One is natural, plump kelp, which is either a very long piece or cut into strips. It is dark green and translucent, similar to jade. The other is dried flat kelp. Some merchants will sprinkle salt on it, but the kelp itself does not have a very obvious taste or a kind of "umami" if you eat it directly. After all, "MSG" was extracted from kelp a long time ago. Adding kelp to mung bean porridge will increase the umami flavor of the porridge.

As for tangerine peel, it mainly acts as a "fusion agent" for the flavors of mung beans and kelp. You don't need to add too much. Just add a small piece of tangerine peel the size of a bottle cap to a pot of mung beans and kelp. The focus of this dessert is brown sugar. The taste of old brown sugar and ordinary brown sugar are completely different. Old brown sugar is best. If you don't have old brown sugar, use ordinary brown sugar with some honey.

"Ah...you're home."

Just as I put all the ingredients for the after-meal dessert "Mung Bean and Kelp" into the pot and started to cook, Elodie pushed the door open from the second floor and walked out: "Your Xia Mo hasn't come back yet?"

"No, she said she would come back for dinner in the evening."

I stepped onto the small stool in the kitchen, put the processed black chicken, wolfberry, red dates and other ingredients into another rice cooker, then turned on the fire, put on an apron, pressed the range hood above my head, and put the ribs into the pot: "Are you eating here tonight?"

"No."

Elodie, who was wearing a nightgown and had messy hair, yawned and said, "I'll go to the coffee shop to eat, and then Jiajia will come back."

"So early?"

I was stir-frying the ribs and asked curiously, "Isn't it time to get off work yet?"

"I'll just set it up wherever I want, so I'll ask Lan Jiajia to come back and help me with the daily grind."

Elodie yawned again: "Did you make mung bean porridge?"

"Well, do you want to drink? It will probably take another hour."

"Save some for me. I'll come back and drink it tomorrow morning."

"Row."

After watching Elodie leave the kitchen, I continued to stir-fry the ribs on the small chair.

The biggest difference between the little girl's body and the uncle's body at that time is that she has less strength. This means that when I am frying ingredients like spareribs, I cannot hold the pan with one hand and keep shaking it. I can only keep brushing it with a small spatula.

Moreover, the most troublesome thing about the sweet and sour pork ribs dish is that it not only needs to be stir-fried once, but also needs to be blanched and degreased first, and there are many complicated steps, and finally vinegar and sugar are added. It will take at least 40 to 50 minutes to prepare.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

I was busy in the kitchen for an hour or two, and when I came out I was covered in sweat.

Wearing an apron was useless. Not only was my top soaked, but my underwear was also covered with sweat stains. My panties were also soaked with sweat and felt a little sticky.

However, looking at the table full of delicious dinner, I was still happy.

There are meat, prawns, chicken soup, vegetables, and green bean soup after eating...

Now Xia Mo can't find any fault with it, right?

"Is this done?"

Elodie changed into the maid outfit and put on makeup in the room on the second floor. She grabbed a piece of pork ribs when passing by the dining table and walked towards the entrance while chewing on it: "Well, not bad."

"be careful on the road."

I looked at Elodie, who was wearing a maid outfit. "Can't you change when you get there?"

"Please, I can just walk there."

"..."

After Elodie left, I looked at the table full of food and returned to my room with my rumbling stomach.

The weather is so hot today, the food probably won't get cold for a while. Since Xiaomo said she can come back before dark, I'll wait for her to come back and eat together.

Thinking of this, I returned to my seat and continued writing my novel.

Then half an hour, an hour, and an hour and a half passed.

After finishing a whole chapter of the novel, I glanced at the time on my phone, then looked out the window at the sun which had already completely set behind the mountain, and suddenly I began to feel a little uncomfortable.

Xiaomo...could she be the same as she was back then?

No, no, I did the "cardboard test" on her this morning and there is definitely no problem.

Standing up from my computer chair, I returned to the living room.

At this time, the food on the table is no longer steaming like when it was just cooked, but you can still feel the obvious temperature when you touch the edge of the soup bowl with your hand.

I stared at the plate of prawns for a few seconds, went to the kitchen to get chopsticks, and then carefully imitated the hotel chef, arranging all the prawns in a circle and adding a vegetable leaf in the middle.

Then, I sprinkled some white sesame seeds on the ribs and added some chopped green onions.

Back in the kitchen, I opened the cupboard, took out two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks, filled each with a bowl of rice, and then placed them on the table.

Not back yet?

I looked outside the balcony in the direction of the kitchen connected to the living room.

It was already completely dark, and the time on my phone showed it was 7:40 in the evening.

do not do that……

I was a little flustered, and quickly opened the contact list, without even looking at it, I directly clicked on the top contact and pressed the dial button -

"Hello, the number you dialed is out of service area, please call again later..."

Not in the service area?

I trembled all over when I heard this.

Generally speaking, being out of service area means that Xiaomo is not covered by mobile phone signals.

Either it’s a very remote place, or... she went abroad, or ran away to another world.

This guy……

I pressed the replay button with shaking hands.

"Hello, the number you dialed is out of service area, please call again later..."

Hit again!

"Hello, the number you dialed is out of service area, please call again later..."

"..."

I kept calling Yin Xiamo's number more than ten times at the dining table, but all I received was the "out of service area" prompt. The joy of having just finished making dinner was instantly washed away.

Then, I couldn't help but stand up from the chair and paced around the living room, feeling a little confused because I didn't know where to find someone.

Xiao Mo...

do not do that……

I really hate feeling this way...

I finally have a good friend with whom I can confide my innermost thoughts. You said you would definitely come back today and that we would live together in the future...

I walked back and forth in the living room with a blank mind for nearly three minutes. Then I seemed to remember something, walked out to the balcony with my phone, and called Yin Xiamo's number again.

"beep--"

Hmm? It works?

This time, the sound coming from the phone's external speaker was no longer that cold artificial voice, but the clear sound of the call being connected.

"beep--"

Less than ten seconds after I made the call, a space crack appeared beside me, and Yin Xiamo, whose clothes were a little messy, walked out of the crack: "Little cat, I haven't seen you for a day, did you miss me?"

"you!"

I looked at the sky outside which had already gone completely dark, and then looked at Yin Xiamo who looked like she had been to the battlefield in Syria. I took a deep breath and said, "Xiaomo, come here."

"Hi?"

The girl in front of me put on a "0w0" look and walked carefully in front of me: "What's the matter, kitten?"

"hand."

I pointed coldly at her right hand.

"Hand...what happened to your hand?"

The girl's tone became even more timid. She seemed to know that she was late. Her face no longer had the usual "arrogance". "I... I'm only ten minutes late. You... calm down."

Ten minutes? You're at least half an hour late!

"No, I'm calm now."

I continued to stare at Yin Xiamo's snow-white right hand: "Hand, give it to me."

"Bring it here?"

Yin Xiamo raised her hand in front of me: "Like this?"

"Ah."

I brought the little hand to my mouth, and then—

He bit the wrist hard!

"Ow!"

Yin Xiamo felt pain and pulled her hand back, taking several steps back: "Yin Nuoer, what are you doing!"

"This is a lesson for you."

I snorted in dissatisfaction and walked to the dining table in the middle of the living room: "You are so dirty, go wash your face and hands quickly."

"If you don't finish the meal I made, you won't be able to go to bed tonight!"

"..."

……

No. 167 Little Artist

I didn't ask where Yin Xiamo went on the day she disappeared.

Although I was very curious, I was very clear that couples need a certain amount of "privacy" - I have never been in a relationship, but I roughly know this principle.

However, under normal circumstances, this kind of "private space" is only applicable to couples who know each other very well or have a deep bond.

If you can't figure out what the other person is like, then forget it. For example, some young couples nowadays have it too tight, which makes it uncomfortable for everyone to get in and out; if it's too loose, it's easy for them to cheat, and then it turns into... "I should be under the car, not in the car."

If it were a normal girl, when her girlfriend or boyfriend said "I'm going to disappear for a day and not contact them", it would easily arouse suspicion, and then a crack in the relationship would appear, slowly expand, and finally break up.

But because I know Yin Xiamo's character, I am sure she will not do anything to hurt our relationship. All I care about is her safety.

"The phone is out of service area" and so on are really worrying.

Yin Xiamo knows my past, and I know a lot about her background. She came to this world to find me, the reincarnation of a brave man, so this guy would do anything to be with me. I don’t believe that her so-called "going out for a day" is just because she needs private space. This matter is definitely very special, plus the strange things she did when she first met me, I can’t guess what she is thinking for the time being.

But at least I can be sure that she must have her own reasons for doing so.

A demon who is more than 6,000 years old has experienced so many things. Apart from the common sense on Earth, where I can serve as her teacher, I can say that I have no experience in other areas.

According to the thinking of earthlings, the experience of elders such as "father" and "mother" is always richer than that of their children. But even if your parents got married later, they have only lived thirty years longer than you at most. However, Yin Xiamo... has lived more than six thousand years longer than me. This is no longer something that can be described by the concept of "elder".

And sometimes I even thought she did all this on purpose.

When we first met, he deliberately pretended to be the god of death who was coming to reap my life. He deliberately acted cold and frosty towards me, deliberately aroused my fear, and then deliberately turned me into a little girl.

It is estimated that Xiaomo had already learned the magic of the Earth when she came to this world. After all, magic is so omnipotent, there is no reason why magic like "learning human language" does not exist. If Xiaomo had learned the magic of the human world on the day she came to Earth, she did not come to me first time on purpose, and then deliberately worked here for a few years to make me think she was a "stupid", and then deliberately pretended to know nothing about Elodie's family and rented their house.

Following this line of thought, Yin Xiamo might have deliberately come to the small apartment to find me that day, asking me to prepare dinner and wait for her in the evening, and then deliberately not came that night to make me anxious, and deliberately gave me her ID card in advance, deliberately attracting me to go to the park to find her covered in bruises.

In this way, our "encounter" would not seem so abrupt, just like in the cartoons - Miss Death travels to the real world, and she is aloof by nature, but is saved by a little girl from Earth. The two of them fall in love, and the little girl thinks that it is her "cleverness" and "bravery" that makes Miss Death fall in love with her, but she doesn't know that it is just a trap set by a 6,000-year-old woman, just to make the little girl fall in love with her without knowing it...

If you think about it this way, it seems possible?!

People who have lived for thousands of years, if not extremely smart, have at least reached a level that ordinary people cannot reach.

In other words, Yin Xiamo really has the ability to reload save files infinitely. In fact, "Yin Nuoer" is not the so-called "protagonist", but Yin Xiamo is.

She had comprehended advanced dimensional magic a long time ago, killed the devil and came to Earth. When they met for the first time, she found "Yin Shiren" and said directly that you are the reincarnation of a brave man and I want to live with you. Yin Shiren, who had lost her job and couldn't pay the rent like me, slapped her thigh and said, "My peach blossom luck has finally come." So she readily agreed and started a shameless life with this lady of death... Then Yin Shiren's life reached the end and she died, and the play ended.

Oh, no, this assumption is not quite true. I remember that the "brave man" in the dream seemed to have laid the foreshadowing of "no physical contact between men and women" for Yin Xiamo a long time ago. If he really came to the earth, the first thing Yin Xiamo would do would definitely be to feminize "Yin Shiren", just like I did at that time.

Then what happened to the two of them? For example, the world line deviated. Could it be that, as Xiaomo mentioned before, "I can make the whole world my enemy for you", the feminized "Yin Shiren" in that parallel universe did something earth-shattering and turned the whole earth upside down?

Then Xiaomo reloaded the game? She feminized Yin Shiren in the new world line, and then couldn't stop herself from entering the end of the world. This happened thousands and tens of thousands of times before she finally confirmed that my "timeline" was correct?

If they want to live happily together, they must give "Yin Shiren" a warning at the beginning, then donate that body to save Lu Xinmeng, Li Denghua and others in the hospital, and finally put on a scene to make me think that I saved "Miss Death", and finally the relationship between the two gradually improves and they live a happy life?
